Layer Management and Colors
Posted: Thu Oct 24, 2002 3:29 pm
Once we get a solidly compiling tree, I'm going to start with this:
Make each layer's wireframe a different color in the 3d windows, that color being selectable by the user. Perhaps you could also select on a layer-wise basis to use the layer-defined color for that layer's wireframe display or the main color (is it exists) from that object's material.
After I get that working, I'm going to try to make the ability to display a layer without having it's objects selectable (aka locking a layer). What these two minor things would do for the workflow of complex projects would be amazing.
I'm planning to do this myself, but I'll ask anyway... any comments?
